"The debate will continue beyond this meeting today, and I am sure you will have a further opportunity to bring this issue and this call to act before the President of the Commission. We are aware of the Treaty, of course. The Commission’s primary role, Ms Gebhardt, is as guardian of the Treaty, and it must apply all aspects of it, although of course certain articles, such as Article 14, are debatable. What matters to me, with respect to those people who are anxious and vulnerable, and can see the effects that the economic crisis is having, is to preserve the fundamental services to which they are entitled. This is what matters to me. There is, indeed, this debate about a framework directive, or a more overarching legal instrument. At this moment in time, thinking in practical terms about people’s anxiety and concerns, especially those about social services and healthcare, we feel that all the concrete, practical protection that citizens need is provided by the directives and cross-cutting texts I have mentioned, as well as the sectoral directives. The latter are also at issue and must be implemented or improved where necessary, but above all be properly drafted. We shall therefore be continuing the debate to see if more can be done; however, what matters to me is to guarantee these services and ensure that people are protected, especially the most isolated and vulnerable."@en1
